Reptile Enclosure Reviews
The right enclosure is the foundation of good reptile husbandry. Reptile housing needs to provide adequate space, temperature gradients, ventilation, and security — and the requirements vary significantly between species.
What We Cover
- Glass terrariums — Brands available in Australia reviewed for size, ventilation, and heat retention
- Wooden vivariums — Better heat retention than glass, suitable for species needing higher basking temperatures
- PVC enclosures — Lightweight, excellent insulation, and increasingly popular with Australian keepers
- Custom builds — DIY enclosure guides for keepers who want specific dimensions or features
- Outdoor enclosures — Weather-proof setups for Australian conditions, security from predators
- Size guides — Minimum enclosure dimensions by species, from geckos to large pythons
Australian reptile keeping regulations specify minimum enclosure sizes for each species. Our guides help you meet — and preferably exceed — these requirements for better animal welfare.
